Lyrics

RIVER ROCK
VERSE 1
I am no one's baby
I am not a girl
I've spent some five decades
Rattlin' round this world
I am not the next new thing
I've been here too long
I have spent my life
Turning stories into song

CHORUS
I am not Silver I am not gold
No precious metal For you to mold
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose

VERSE 2
I have come to see (things)
Thru a prismed lens
As I take this journey
Closer to its end
At many turns I'm troubled
By much of what I see
but I won't waste my breath declaring
You've done this to me

CHORUS 2
I am not Silver I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose

BRIDGE
Every step along the way
I made my own choice
I tried to choose the Truth
That's how I found my voice

CHORUS 3 (Double chorus 1st half)
I am not Silver I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose

CHORUS 4 (Double chorus 2nd half)
I am not Silver I am not gold
No precious metal for you to mold
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose
I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose

I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose

I am a river rock Tumbled smooth
By the rush of life This life I choose
